EDS. REcoED-UNIoN 1t has always been
supposed that it was the duty Of the police
to look after infringements of ordinances
concerning distractions to sidewalks the
creaking of swinging signs, etc, but of late
the sanitary officer seems 10 be deyoting his
attention to these activities, instead of
looking out for smells in dark alleys, de-
odorizing Chinatown, etc. Would it not
be wen 10 segregate these duties so
as to give each officer q chance to earn his
money? H.

THE CALIFORNIA AND OREGON ROAD
The end of the track on the California and
Oregon extension is now within a mile and
a half of Coles, to which point the road is
to he opened by the 1st of next month
This will reduce the stage ride to about
eighteen miles. T. H. Goodman saws that
as soon as the restaurant which the COM
pany is now building at Sissons is COM
pleted there will be another change in the
time table between SAT- Francisco and
Portland, by which the time between those
two points shall be reduced to forty hours
" We propose continued Mr.. Goodman,
" 10 have a train leave San Francisco at 6
T.. NJ, or perhaps later, reaching Sissons al
S o'clock next morning, HOrnbroOk, the
present terminus az 1880 and Coles, at the
State line. at I1:2O This would allow
Ashland to be reached at 4:S0 P. NJ. and
Portland next morning az 10 o'clock"

ing Inspector Starr will to-day commence
serving notices upon business men whose
sings are hung in violation of the follow

visions of this ordinance upon conviction
thereof shall be punished by fine not ex-
ceeding $40 for the first offenSe, nor more

SUPPOSED To BE INSANE PERsoNs.-The
Commissioners of Lunacy examined yes
terday Frank Batters, who was taken in
charge few DAYS ago on suspicion of in
sanity, and directed that he be detained in
the county Jail until further order, hoping
that his mental condition may improve
..... Rhodv MCtSraw, who was arrested
few days ago for a likecause, was yesterday
removed from the city prison to the county

dent looked as we'll as usual and walked
steadily, evincing no discontinue. Be-
hind the President and Mrs. Manning
came Secretary Bayard and Mrs. Cleve-
land, Secretary Manning and Mrs. Endi
colt, Secretary Endicott and Mrs. Villas,
Secretary Whitney and Postmaster-Gen-
eral Villas, Colonel Lamont and Lieutenant
Duvall, of the Navy. 1t required but
half minutes time for the arrangement

halls were much larger than for many
years past. =,
Mrs. Cleveland looked particularly well
the excitement of the occasion lending a
brilliant color to her cheek and glisten-
ing sparkle to her eye. She stood at the
right of the President, and firmly grasped
each hand as it left the Presidents, and
with cordial intoning of the visitors
name. she looked toward the next conner.
The reception was marred by no ac-
cident or disagreeable incident, and the
arrangements seemed to be almost perfect
for the comfort and convenience OF the
guests The reception ended al 2:O5
o'clock.

Eleven Persons Poisoned.

CmAMBERsBURG, PA, Jam Mime
members of the family of Henry ID.
Shockey, Of Quincy township, this county,
and Misses Ella and Bertie Moats, Of
Ringgold, Md, are lying very i'll at Mr..
Shockey's residence. They were taken
sick on Monday last after eating dinner,
and it is supposed that the coffee which
they drank at that meal has poisoned
them They were taken with vomiting,
followed by headache and severe pain In
the stomach. A physician has been In
almost constant attendance upon them,
but has been able to ease their sufferings
but little. II was thought at first that the
poison had been administered in the eata-
bles, but on examination of them and OF
the dishes in which they were contained,
disclosed no poison in them. A theory
that the glazing Of the crooks had scaled
off and was the cause of the suffering, has
been dispelled by examination. 1t is
feared that several of the persons will
die.
